Mana59000 « stronger than the gibson 335?! »
Published on 08/03/07 at 06:05Guitar made in Germany by hand (not by children, it's better for the conscience!) As the guitars of yesteryear, AAA spruce top, back, but it is also completely flame (beautiful).
22 frets and an ebony fingerboard.
binding on any guitar.
micro "made in" mail Höfner and breathtaking turns the knobs + on + the sound is round and jazzy, especially with the neck pickup. We switch the type of a single coil to a large double trouble-free.
2 volumes, 2 tones, a 3 position switch, 2 pickups.
bridge-type tensioner HOFNER.
handle rather large, like 59 or gibson godin profile.
9 / 10 as requiring a small run-time adaptation for small hands
UTILIZATION
As I said before, the handle is quite manly, but you get used to because it wide enough (at least it's not a classic no longer!) But it is great for arpeggios, chords jazz all twisted! !
even the sweeping and tapping, and other virtuosity not to be avoided with a properly tuned guitar.
The treble is excellent access to
Ergonomics is good, it is comfortable, the guitar is well balanced, not heavy either.
whatever settings the sound is terrible (Electronic crazy!) it sounds.
SOUNDS
I love the beautiful sounds clear, very round typed jazz, bossa and I must say that this guitar would come out better in this area than Gretch (country, Brian Setzer) or Gibson ES models (sometimes a bit limited time level finishing) also in my opinion is a direct competitor, the shape of the guitar is not without recalling, if not crunch it sounds not bad either (creedence, BB King) good blues guitar also has to sustain almost that as long as my Les Paul Classic (1993).
I play with a mesa f30 with which it déglinque,.
on the other hand is not suitable for very large terrible distos (dissection, angra, Fear Factory, is finally a scratching at the base of jazz!) but OK for the rest.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought it new a year ago.
The guitar is beautiful, a very good build quality (it must be seen in real life, the photos do not) domed table back flame wood binding on any guitar, gold hardware, ebony short HOFNER n has not wanted to do things by halves.
Great sound especially clear, but the guitar is versatile, and the body width not too big can increase the sound feedback without fear imminent.
The guitar comes in a case such beautiful tweed.
While the handle is a bit wide at first, but with a well-tuned action that rolls even for small hands.
value for money is to go. Too bad the guitar is poorly distributed.
I do it again this choice because it is a guitar with a real personality!, and then when you fly the fate of your people (well what the experts, not bystander!) hua come see you! What is your scratch c is a HOFNER! actually the brand rather discreet.
So if you have a good paw and you like the sound clear, jazz, crunch, blues, overdrive, and long sustain evil (even sounds clear!) This guitar is for you.
edit 17/12/2010: RAS, the table begins to take an amber hue that makes the guitar even more beautiful than before, still happy with the play, and Déguène in concert.
